Engineering-related scientific and technical services TII393_M130 Archaeology Services Qualification System
MetroLink will provide a high speed, high capacity, high frequency, modern and efficient public transport service for passengers travelling along the Swords/Airport to City Centre corridor in Dublin, which will be capable of integration with other modes of public transport.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) will commence the procurement of the Enabling Works Programme. The Enabling Works Programme comprises of the establishment of a suite of framework agreements and qualification systems to select contractors to deliver enabling works in advance of the main infrastructure works contracts (in respect of civil engineering, tunnelling and station works). The enabling works will include the removal and/or relocation of existing utilities, archaeology, heritage items (for storage/replacement) and buildings from site and undertaking other survey activities. To deliver the enabling and advance works for MetroLink, TII intends to establish an archaeology services qualification system with contracts under the qualification system being awarded using the negotiated procedure. The proposed duration of the Qualification System is 12 years.

It is anticipated that a Qualification System Questionnaire (QSQ) will be issued in Q3 2025. This will contain criteria that will need to be satisfied in order for applicants to be admitted to the Qualification System. Following this, those admitted into the Qualification System will be issued with an instruction to tenderers (ITT) for the first call-off contract (circa. Q4 2025). TII intends to utilise the GCCC Standard Conditions of Engagement for Archaeological Services (COE-2) form of contract for contracts awarded under this Qualification System.

While applications may be made to join the Qualification System at any time over its duration, those interested in being considered for the first contract to be awarded under this Qualification System should submit a completed QSQ response prior to the deadline to be advertised under as part of the Qualification system.
